The acpi_os_ioremap() function may be used to map normal RAM or IO
regions. The current implementation simply uses ioremap_cache(). This
will work for some architectures, but arm64 ioremap_cache() cannot be
used to map IO regions which don't support caching. So for arm64, use
ioremap() for non-RAM regions.

OK. I think weak function would work.

The logic behind acpi_os_ioremap() could be based on the physmem
series I am preparing for 3.21 timeframe.
It allows us to classify physical ranges as backed by RAM or not, and
call the appropriate flavor of ioremap()

Regardless of whether you hit any WARN_ON()s now, we still need to
distinguish between MMIO ranges with device semantics, and ACPI or
other tables whose data may not be naturally aligned all the time, and
hence requiring memory semantics. acpi_os_ioremap() may be used for
both, afaik

This still only addresses the mismatched attributes part: regions that
require memory semantics may still end up being mapped as device
memory if they are not covered by the linear mapping, which could
happen if the region resides below the kernel in memory, or if we
passed a mem= parameter and it sits at the very top.

Right.  Mark replied to this before I could; using kmap() enforced a 4k
(one page) limit that we kept breaking with some ACPI tables being larger
than that (DSDTs and SSDTs, fwiw).  This would lead to some very odd behaviors
when most but not all of a device definition was within the page; using the
table checksums was one way of detecting the issues.

page_is_ram() returns whether a pfn is covered by the linear mapping,
so memory before the kernel or after a mem= limit will be
misidentified.

Yes and no. Your analysis about the core issue is correct, but it is
something we can fix on our end if we like.
This issue has been on our radar for a while, and we proposed a way to
fix it here

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.efi/5133

(The 'other series' the cover letter refers to is the virtmap series
you pulled for 3.20)

There is a known issue on APM with this series, reported by Dave
Young, and I was hoping digging into that next week at Connect.

That's just one of the patches, and it is not actually the one that
addresses this issue.
(Registering the iomem resources is mainly to ensure MMIO regions for
the NOR flash or RTC are not claimed by a kernel driver if they are
being driven by the firmware at runtime)

The point of the series is to wire up the 'physmem' memblock table to
record what we know is system RAM, and use that to decide what flavor
of mapping to use. The series as-is addresses the non-UEFI case as
well, the only thing missing is wiring up page_is_ram() to
memblock_is_physmem() (the former is __weak already in the core code,
but perhaps it would be better to just use the latter directly)

With these changes, we no longer have to care whether a reserved
region sits below PHYS_OFFSET or above a mem= limit

Note that, in the non-UEFI case, we may need to consider removing
memreserve regions from the linear mapping. Code that assumes it is
mapped is broken anyway, due to the same concerns outlined above
(i.e., < PHYS_OFFSET or > mem=).
